A quick rant on social niceties

I hate the social niceties that the general populace is forced to abide by.

It discourages the truth and encourages rationales not only toward the individual but also rationalizations towards other people.  It enforces lies.

The thing is, these white lies that make up social niceties are the very things that made social niceties vital (apparently) in the first place.  Society deems that in order for an individual to be attractive, he or she must be thin (by thin I quantitatively mean having a BMI of 18).  Why is it today considered bad to be fat?  Millions of people aren’t stressing about being overweight just because of the health implications…they’re stressed because rationalizations given to them eventually failed.  These individuals were eventually given evidence that these white lies were in fact white lies.   These individuals didn’t work to improve themselves because they didn’t feel the need to, specifically because of the social niceties surrounding them.

So basically, no social niceties, far less problems.

Whoever the hell got the idea into their head that looks should matter and reflect who a person is should be gutted, stabbed in the eye with a rusty knife, then hit with a crowbar repeatedly.  It shouldn’t matter at ALL.  I’m not a typical guy, I honestly don’t care about how a girl looks.  I don’t care of someone’s blonde, brunette, short, tall, fat, skinny…I just don’t.  Society imposed upon us what we are attracted to.  I realize this, so I try and move past it.  The fact is these physical looks aren’t gonna be there for forever.  Choose a person by their long-term attribute: their personality.  I say attribute because that’s the only static thing about a person.

If niceties never existed, that would be great, but  we have to deal with them today.  It’s really a true testament of your ability to tell other people to screw off when they’re judging you on what, your looks?  Maybe the way you write or draw? Those individuals are PATHETIC.  who the hell gives a shit what they think? be your own damn person, and don’t let anyone, ANYONE get in your damn way.   in short, be honest with yourself and others.  It may not seem easy but in the end you’ll have great friends and a great life.  just give it a shot; you’ll be surprised not only by how good it feels, but also the clarity of life you’ll get.
